Bathurst Regional Council has joined the NSW Environment Protection Agency in its Report to the EPA program.
More than 45,000 people from across NSW - including 220 from Bathurst - have registered with Report to EPA to report littering from vehicles.
ALSO MAKING NEWS:
Almost 60,000 reports have been made, and more than 40,000 litter fines have been issued by the EPA.
There have been 195 reports of littering made in the Bathurst region over the past year.
Mayor Bobby Bourke encouraged residents to register with the service provided by the EPA.
"Our community deserves a clean and safe environment, so we are asking people to think about the consequences of littering and report any incidents to the EPA," Cr Bourke said.
"By having our community support this campaign, it sends a strong message that littering is not tolerated."
The EPA can issue fines of $250 for an individual and $500 for a corporation for littering from a vehicle, based on reports from members of the public.
